Origami Infiltrates High-End Fashion

I had no idea that the traditional Japanese paper-folding craft of origami had become such a huge global fashion trend. The Origami Blog showcases all different kinds of ways in which origami is infiltrating our aesthetic, from the leather Chloe clutch shown above to bookshelves to type fonts to haute couture fashion.

the purse-whuteva thingy doesn't look bad, though the two dresses are kinda ugly (not kinda, they REALLY are)

That bag is interesting. Throw your Suica card in there, but if you can afford that bag, you're probably not taking the Metro.

Those dresses are definitely haute couture. I wonder how they would look after the trickle down to pret-a-porter. That one on the right looks interesting when thinking how it would change depending on how the light hits it.

While I appreciate how blue jeans and a t-shirt will never go out of style, haute couture reminds us that fashion is fun.

This surely looks like the futuristic fashion form a SciFi movie of the last century.
